Local Coverage of Liberal Blogger's Arrest

Liberals in Niagara Falls should regroup now to find a new candidate for the next federal election, party officials say. Jim Curran, a 42-year-old realtor dropped out of the race Tuesday hours after Niagara Regional Police charged him with fraud.

“At this time we all just need to take a deep breath…,” said Judi Longfield, executive director of the Liberal Party of Canada’s Ontario wing. It will be up to Liberals in the Niagara Falls riding association to figure out how they want to proceed. “We’ve suggested they need to reactivate their candidate search committee,” Longfield said in an interview from her Toronto office.
